Total Area (A) = H * W
Number of Open Spaces (N) = (Number of Louvers - 1)
Effective Area (Af) = ho * W * N

Formula
• Total Louver Dimension (Excluding Frame) (A) = 3.9 feet x 6.2 feet = 24.2 ft.
2
• Louver Shield Dimension by Product (B) = 3.12 feet x 2.74 feet = 8.55 ft.
2
• Inlet Louver Dimension (A - B) = 15.7 ft.
2
• Equivalent Inlet Dimension (Open Rate 80%) = 15.7 ft
2
x 0.8 = 12.56 ft.
2
• Equivalent Inlet Air Volume = 12.56 ft.
2
x 8.2 ft./s x 60 sec./min. = 6,179.5 ft.

/min.
• Velocity of Outlet Air: 16.4 ft./s
• Velocity of Inlet Air: 8.2 ft./s
• Open Rate = 80% or More
• Discharge Air Guide must be installed.
